Being rafa Fans I know you guys already know this O but lookie what rafa says in his presser.

RAFAEL NADAL: My goal is all the time and all my life was the same, is keep improving and feel myself better player next year than what I felt this year. Being better player doesn't mean you gonna win more than you did, because win or lose sometimes is part of the moment and part of the confidence. But my goal remains for me that the Masters Cup is the big, yeah, probably the last big tournament that I didn't win. That's true is the most difficult title for me to win, because we play it in indoor, and when indoor, indoor very quick surface, so gonna be always very difficult if we don't change that. But at the same time is a challenge for me to keep improving to have the chance to play well there and to have the chance to win. So that's what I gonna try this year. For me right now the next goal is try to finish the season much better than what I did in other years. The last part of the season always was difficult for me. Well, today it started to be less difficult, that's true. But, yeah, I want to finish the season if it's possible with a good feeling.

Oh Rafa you can have so much totty and you're stuck with that annoying Xisca. The only reason he's posing with Blake is because she was on regis too. Btw Kate Walsh has a crush too lol

Btw, did anyone watch the Regis and Kelly interview? The way he clarified that Xisca is a "Mallorcan girl" is very telling. He loves his Country so much that any girl he will get involved in has to represent that. Xisca IS Mallorca to him, a girl from any other part of the world has a slim chance.
And yes Maribel is growing up to be quiet sexy innit? She has a boyfriend I think though. Rafa loves her a lot you can tell when he mentions her but I would like to see how he is as a protective brother.

LOL - I'm watching that Champions League match between my old club Ajax versus Real Madrid RIGHT NOW!!!

I didn't really expected Rafa there cuz I assumed he was tired and as soon as he left America he would go back to his home in the island, but no, instead he's in the middle of Madrid, attending a football match!

Although unexpected on my behalf, I understand his predicament perfectly (even I am very very curious about the "first day at the office" of Jose "special one" Mourinho)

Nadal questioned about his serve after his first round match said nothing of a grip change. oops - uncle toni should have been on top of this more - I have a feeling even he didnt expect the effect it would have on his nephew:

"You were hitting 130 miles an hour on your serve. Is there a change on your serve, or it had to do with the conditions or what?
RAFAEL NADAL: And wait. Wait for the next one, I going for 135 (smiling).
No, I am trying to serve a little bit more like Wimbledon because the ball here is very soft. Is not getting a lot of topspin. I try to play a little bit more flat. And for that reason, I am serving faster, I think. That's it. "
